304 Words2 Pages

I don 't know what you will think of me, Claudia, and my husband, Jack, after hearing this cautionary tale of struggle, achievement, success, betrayal, murder, and undying love.

If you come away from this thinking that, well, I will understand; however, if after you hear what I have to tell you, you come to the conclusion that all things happen for important reason and purpose, then this story I dedicate to you, and hope that fate is as kind to you as it has been to Jack and me.

Before Fall Semester began, With one year of college studies under my belt, I had prepared myself for the next round of rigorous and demanding, migraine prompting, neurosis causing dose of academia.

    As I sit in the basement of the Lilly Library, surrounded by friends who have become family in a few short months, covered in calculus and EQ notes, and listening to some Duke Ellington jazz music for my Music 101 class, I can’t help but reflect on what this year has meant to me and my development as a student, athlete, brother, friend, and person. I entered Wabash College not exactly sure what to expect; I knew it was going to be different, but I also knew that with change I wanted to keep an open mind that was ready to learn and grow. Freshman tutorial and especially enduring questions are two classes that have pushed my boundaries as a person, forcing me to question core beliefs and ideas that seemed previously engrained in my mind.

    Have you ever realized that as you get older you slowly have less and less time to do anything fun or spontaneous? For me, I may not be considered old, but lately it seems to be getting harder to do anything such as hanging out with friends, hanging out with my girlfriend, and even just watching television. As I get older it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay young. All of my time has been taken with the pressures of school, so that I can build a career, and working 2 jobs. I’ve been working at McDonalds for about 3 years and The Home Depot for almost a year now.

When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people.

    First of all, thanks for taking your time to write this recommendation letter, considering you probably have many more to write. I wish for you to write one because your sophomore English Honors class was the first challenging class I experienced in all my years of learning. I remember failing the first essay you assigned; I felt like giving up and I was certain the class would be more challenging than I previously thought. My prognostication was right, it was not easy, however I did improve by the end of the year and I had confidence in performing sharpened English work in my Junior and Senior year. To this day, I continue to improve my literary essays now that I have AP.

Honestly, I wouldn't fault you for thinking that, and I will understand; however, if after hearing the entire story, you determine the events unfold justifiably in specific ways, for specific reasons, I will dedicate this composition to you and hope that you will be as fortunate as Jack and me.
